Capozzo Inn - Tour

Absolute Venice - T123

The finest treasures of the Serenissima Republic

Part one

This walking tour features all the most significant monuments that stand in testimony to the glorious past of Venice. Discover the thousand-year long history of the Serenissima, and learn how this island city became a cross-roads of civilizations and the Queen of the Seas.

HIGHLIGHTS

• St. Mark’s Square, description of the history of the main monuments: St. Mark’s Basilica, The Doge’s Palace, the Campanile, the Clock Tower, the Procuratie
• S. Maria Formosa, with its lively "Campo", one of the most popular squares in Venice
• The Church and Campo of SS. Giovanni e Paolo - the "Pantheon” of Venice, the great charitable Scuola and the heroic deeds of the famed Captains of fortune
• Marco Polo’s house and Teatro Malibran - where ancient and recent history meet in this wonderful corner of Venice
• Back to St. Mark’s through the famous Mercerie, once the commercial lifeline between Rialto and St. Mark’s and today Venice’s main shopping district

Part two

We enter the Doge’s Palace, the highest achievement of Gothic architecture in Venice, through the Porta del Frumento (Corn Door) on the waterfront. The monumental complex was the symbol and center of the political and administrative life of the Serenissima. At once the Doge’s residence, seat of government and court of justice and prisons, the Palace was for centuries the symbol of the wealth and power of the Venetian Republic.

HIGHLIGHTS

• Enter the Doge’s Palace and the inner courtyard surrounded by the four monumental facades. Ascend to the first floor through the spectacular Giants' Staircase flanked by the huge marble statues of Mars and Neptune by Jacopo Sansovino
• See the impressive halls and the magnificent Sala del Maggior Consiglio, the hall where the Major Council met
• Through the adjoining Bridge of Sighs cross into the bleak cells of the Prison Building
